Discussion (30) ¬

Due to the obviousness of the things you want us to see, I really can’t tell if it’s going to be Posthumous messing with Skarva, or he’s just a really smelly, red herring… Ack… Good story telling is good…

Well, I feel better today than I did yesterday, and I felt better yesterday than the day before, so… I think I’ll be fine. I just really hate that I’ve wasted a few days sleeping, and had to miss work, but I didn’t miss any class, at least >_>

The sad thing is that Compost has very sensible excuses. It’s either a series of red herrings or he’s lying his ass off. We probably won’t find out which until the end of the arc. I feel sorry for Skarva. This will drive him nuts.

We use the term “arc” somewhat loosely… we’ve used it to refer to the two main segments of the story so far, the two schemes which were each concluded by a defeat. But this finding-the-gods story is going to be a lot longer than the both of those two combined, and it would be useful to break it up into the various episodes it’s going to contain in different locations. Maybe we could refer to the larger segments as chapters, or even acts, which contain arcs.

The point is, we want to be able to flesh out each location adequately, but they’re not going to spend a horrendous amount of time here.

No, most Idenian zombies are as nice and intelligent as they were in life. And they can’t eat because their bodies don’t work anymore. There are a lot of tales about zombies, but that’s just because people are afraid of them. Not without reason; they remind us of our mortality.

I was calling him “Frederic” in my mind already. I considered having Posthumous call out a name because it seemed more natural than just “YOU!” but I decided against it because we try not to name incidental characters. (In fact I enjoy leaving that up to you guys.) And he just looks like a Frederic. Or Fredrick. Whatever.
